4.0 out of 5 stars
A Page Turner, March 18, 2009
This review is from: Breach of Trust (Call of Duty Series, Book 1) (Paperback)
In this suspense-filled novel, Mills wraps in romance, a solid dose of character faith, and more than one plot twist.
Paige Rogers is the librarian in a small town in Oklahoma. On the surface, she's a smart, caring, Christian with good friends and the romantic interest of the high school's football coach. Underneath it all is a past no one would have expected. Once a former CIA agent, Paige was living her life in the fast lane until a covert mission went wrong and she nearly died. She was betrayed by their leader, threatened, and forced to start her life over. But new news surfaces about her past and she begins to wonder if her decision was the right one. Now she must confront the past and potentially lose everything she's worked so hard for in her new home. And she's tested to keep safe the ones she loves and unravel the clues that will expose the man behind the betrayal.
For my first Diann Mills book, I was impressed with her technique and the seamless flow of the story. It was a quick read and kept me interested.

This is Christian fiction, and I liked it!, June 4, 2010
I was really saddened by how many people slammed this book and gave it poor ratings just because it is faith-based. Once again the masses are screaming that a book is somehow going to "trick" them into becoming a Christian.
Did they even READ the review by Booklist???? I guote: "Breach of Trust is the first book in Mills' faith-based Call of Duty series." Faith-based equals Christian fiction!
Also the publisher is Tyndale House, a well known Christian publisher. If people are so terrifed of being "converted" by a book, then perhaps they should learn which publishers are faith-based so they can avoid them.
I also noticed that most of the people slamming this book received it for free on their Kindle. So they had no monetary investment, and if they read even a few pages they would know it is Christian fiction so they could stop at that point and delete from their Kindles, so no real time investment. So why the need to slam a book simply because it is Christian?? They said over and over that it was not marked as religious, yet there were obvious signs that it was, which is why I decided to give it a try.
I enjoyed the book, found it drew me into the story, couldn't wait to get to the ending. I will be getting the second book in the series, and hope the Christian fiction selection for Kindle continues to grow and thrive!

This should come with a warning., May 4, 2010
This review is from: Breach of Trust (Call of Duty Series, Book 1) (Paperback)
A great plot; interesting people; a bit of a page-turner...and it could have been a great book, if it hadn't degenerated into an infomercial for a conservative religion.
The Disney dialogue was unrealistically scrubbed of credibility. It's too bad; the book had real potential.
I tried to stick with it, but after a while this book, like so many others here, got to be too much of a sales pitch for a conservative brand of Christianity.
I feel Amazon should warn readers before they spend their time and money for these religion-sponsored books that their underlying purpose is to sell the view of a particular religious belief.
